Plastic Surgery Must Have Trends of 2013!

With every New Year come new trends in fashion, health and beauty. I'm breaking down the total "must-haves" in cosmetic procedures that use the latest techniques, accessories and technologies. 2013 is definitely YOUR year to look and feel your best! We guarantee it!

Cellulite Reduction! There is no question that there is no greater nemesis to a woman’s bod than cellulite. You can work out, eat right and take care of yourself overall and still have lumpy bumpy skin. Well, fret no more, Vasersmooth is here. Vasersmooth uses an accessory, and we women love accessories, that breaks up the connective tissues that create those pesky dimples. This procedure is minimally invasive, can be done under local anesthetic and has almost no downtime! Say good-bye to cheesy thighs and hello to skimpy bikinis.

Scarless Breast Lifts! Scarring is the main obstacle for women seeking perkier breasts. Traditionally, large scars were needed to tailor the breasts into a better position…not anymore! An internal bra is created, through tiny incisions, using sutures that lift and support the breasts into a better position. Breast implants and fat may be combined at the same time as the scarless breast lift to enhance the breasts even further. The downtime, recovery and complications are reduced due to having fewer incisions. It’s a total win-win! Please note not everyone will be a candidate for this style of breast lift. Those with severe ptosis and very heavy breasts still may require a classic mastopexy. Check out Dr. Hartog’s mentor Dr. Khouri’s website to find out a little more. He is truly a pioneer in breast surgeries.

Liquid Facelifts! The Liquid Facelift uses a combination of fillers, Botox and/or fat to create a more youthful appearance using mostly non-surgical methods. This helps restore facial volume, fill wrinkles and give an overall appearance of rejuvenation. There is no question this will not replace a traditional facelift but this is great for quick minor improvements and for those not ready or needing more involved facial surgeries.  The results may be temporary but the confidence boost you’ll get is long lasting! Check out Juvederm and Sculptras websites to see some great before and afters using just injectables.

Still going strong in 2013 is the Brazilian Butt Lift and Mommy Makeovers. I call the Brazilian Butt Lift a “twofer.” Two surgeries for one! Liposuction removes fat from undesired areas and is reinjected into the buttocks creating a fuller bottom. Mommy makeovers typically combine a few procedures together either: liposuction, tummy tucks, breast augmentation and/or breast lifts. The “makeover” restores mom’s bodies to a time before those little angels came along.
